Game day tactics for Super Bowl munching

By WTOP Staff

WASHINGTON – For many, Super Bowl food can be just as exciting as the game. However, mindless munching can lead to a calorie count much higher than the score displayed on the Jumbotron.

There are ways to enjoy the chips, chili and wings without wreaking havoc on your waistline.

  • Focus on the geography: Don’t sit near the food. Keep your distance from the chip bowl and keep the mindless grazing at bay.
  • Fill your plate: Take a plate and fill it with the food you want. Eat every bite slowly, and don’t go back for seconds.
  • Watch the commercials: Don’t use the commercials as an excuse to get up and grab more when you’ve already had enough.
